EUR Mid-day Analysis

The December Euro has managed a fresh upside breakout on the charts overnight and in turn hasreached the highest level since October 31st. Some of the gains in the Euro might come from the comments fromthe ECB’s Coeure who suggested that the ECB doesn’t see a noted deflation threat and the ECB also doesn’tthink the Euro zone needs to implement aggressive asset purchase easing programs to address conditions in theEU. Therefore the threat of aggressive easing is reduced that probably justifies the fresh upside breakout on theEuro charts. Initial support in the December Euro moves up to 135.64 and there might not be much in the way ofresistance seen until the 136.53 level.
